Chapter 48: Qian Renxue's Curiosity, Violent Thunder Body Training!
Heaven Dou Imperial City, Prince's Mansion.
The message from the three Heaven Dou Education Committee members was quickly delivered to Qian Renxue's desk.
> "That boy who offered the curved plow as a gift and said he wanted to study at the Royal Academy, then serve me and the empire after graduation…"
> "The one with only level 1 innate soul power and a mutated Blue Silver Grass spirit—could he really be this talented?"
After reading the letter,
Qian Renxue set it down, murmuring to herself, disbelief in her eyes.
At first, she had only thought of Ye Yu as insightful, a good mind for technology and innovation.
She never paid much attention to his talent in cultivation.
So after arranging for him to receive a baron title, helping him enroll at Heaven Dou Royal Academy,
and gifting him a small house in Heaven Dou Imperial City,
she essentially stopped paying him any further attention.
But now it turned out that Ye Yu's cultivation talent was astonishing!
> "I don't know how this kid did it…"
Qian Renxue was truly surprised.
In just three years, he'd advanced from a level 10 soul master to a level 30 soul master.
Such a cultivation speed defied common sense!
> "I, Qian Renxue, have misjudged!"
She was very pleased with Ye Yu's current strength and talent.
But then came the issue—Ye Yu was now Dugu Yan's boyfriend.
He had even taken Poison Douluo Dugu Bo as his teacher.
Qian Renxue massaged her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Because she knew well—
Dugu Bo was aligned with Prince Xuexing.
And Prince Xuexing was not on friendly terms with her!
But thinking more deeply,
Qian Renxue realized this might not be a bad thing after all.
Regardless, Ye Yu entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy thanks to her.
He was her recruit.
Even if he was now Dugu Bo's disciple and dating Dugu Yan,
Dugu Bo was not Prince Xuexing himself.
Perhaps she could still win Dugu Bo over—by winning Ye Yu's heart.
At that thought, Qian Renxue's handsome, elegant face showed a confident smile.

At the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire
Ye Yu stayed there for half a month.
During that time,
he first compressed his soul power to the limit of what his body could handle,
and then began to practice the Thunder Body Forging Technique.
It must be said—
because of his incredibly strong recovery ability, combined with the second soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone:
Wildfire cannot destroy, spring wind brings rebirth!
Plus the powerful thunder attribute resistance brought by absorbing the ten-thousand-year Thundering Hell Vine spirit beast soul ring,
and the lightning-absorbing power of the external soul bone Thundering Hell Gun,
once Ye Yu learned the Thunder Body Forging Technique,
he ignored all caution and cranked up the strength of the lightning created by his soul power—
conducting brutal lightning body forging!
Originally, as stated in the Thunder Body Forging Technique manual,
each level of forging was supposed to be practiced slowly and carefully.
Only after the body was fully adapted could the practitioner advance to the next stage.
But Ye Yu?
He increased the intensity every day or two, constantly pushing the limits of his body.
Naturally, this was far beyond what the body could easily adapt to.
Every day, Ye Yu was covered in internal and external injuries.
His hair stood on end from the electric shocks—it was almost comical.
His body's cells constantly regenerated, transformed, and strengthened.
It was a mix of pain and joy.
This kind of brutal Thunder Body Forging improved Ye Yu's physical fitness incredibly fast.
In just half a month,
Ye Yu felt his physical fitness had nearly doubled.
When he absorbed his fourth soul ring—which had 20,000 years of cultivation—it was already an impressive feat.
According to soul ring absorption data plagiarized by Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall,
even a top-tier beast spirit user at level 60 could only absorb a ring just under 20,000 years old to advance to Soul Emperor.
Which meant—
before absorbing the fourth ring, Ye Yu's physical body was already near the Soul King ~ Soul Emperor level.
Given his relatively low soul power level,
his pure physical fitness alone might've been enough to rival a Soul Emperor!
After absorbing the 20,000-year soul ring,
his body undoubtedly reached the Soul Emperor's standard.
Now, after intense thunder forging, it had doubled again.
Even though Ye Yu's soul power remained at level 47 (due to being compressed),
if you compare soul power to water, and soul power level to container size—
his container stayed the same, but the density of his soul power had tripled!
But at this point, Ye Yu could feel that converting level 47 soul power into lightning for body forging was losing effectiveness.
Soon, it might not work at all.
So his next steps were:
Increase his cultivation level
Rely more on the external soul bone Thunder Hell Gun for stronger lightning to continue forging his body
To do both simultaneously,
Ye Yu planned to return to Heaven Dou Imperial City and ask a blacksmith to forge a fine iron spear.
First, he would train in spear techniques while continuing thunder forging with soul power until it became ineffective.
After that?
He'd change his appearance and enter the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
There, using only a spear and pure physical strength, he would participate in combat.
This would put him under extreme pressure and stimulate cultivation breakthroughs—
and give him real battle experience to improve his spear techniques.
After all, with an external soul bone like the Thunder Hell Gun, he had to master spearmanship.
Otherwise, what a waste of power!
And once he did master it…
In the future, when battling enemies from afar with overwhelming Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines,
if his opponent somehow broke through and reached him—
thinking close combat was Ye Yu's weakness as a control-type soul master—
he'd draw his spear and stab them down with brutal strength and refined technique!
What a surprise that would be!

So, Ye Yu left the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire and returned to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
> "Grandpa, Yanyan, I'm back!"
At Dugu Mansion, upon hearing of Ye Yu's return, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan immediately came out to greet him.
Dugu Yan's pretty face lit up with joy. Like a cheerful little swallow, she grabbed Ye Yu's hand and asked:
> "Ye Yu, how did your Thunder Body Forging training go?"
> "Not bad!" Ye Yu grinned.
"With it, I've significantly improved my physical fitness and compressed my soul power even further."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched. He couldn't help but marvel.
> "This kid is a total monster!"
> "Am I, this old man, really going to witness a Soul Sect—or even Soul King—level genius whose soul power quality already rivals that of a Soul Saint?"
---
After welcoming Ye Yu into the hall,
Dugu Bo seemed to recall something and said with a complicated expression:
> "Xiao Yu, during the past half month, your actions at the Royal Academy caused a huge stir across Heaven Dou Imperial City."
> "Prince Xue Qinghe even sent people to our Dugu Mansion asking about your whereabouts."
> "Didn't you enroll in the Royal Academy with Prince Xue Qinghe's help?"
